A wire processing system is a specialized machine used in the manufacturing and electrical construction industries. Its primary functions include cutting wires, inserting marked tubes, stripping wire sheaths, and crimping terminals.
While these systems are generally categorized under a common name, various manufacturers have developed unique products to meet specific industry needs. Selection of the most appropriate system is crucial based on the specific requirements of a task.
The increasing demand for wire processing machines, particularly in the electrical construction industry, is driven by advancements in technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT).
These systems are extensively used for automating tasks in control panel manufacturing, including wire cutting, marking tube printing and insertion, wire sheath stripping, and terminal crimping. This automation, which replaces manual processes, leads to significant cost reductions and efficiency improvements.
Wire processing systems comprise four main components to automate control panel manufacturing:
These components are controlled by servo cylinders, servo motors, and hydraulic tools, all regulated by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC allows the system to handle various wire types and sizes, and to read data in formats like Excel and CSV for printing on marked tubes, thereby optimizing the processing operation.
Thanks to automation, these systems can reduce labor costs by more than 80% compared to traditional manual methods.
